Accolade and Review for my poem: Home of Books

Thank you, administrators, for the accolade and your hard work. Thank you for the support,  critique, and wonderful reviews

Home of Books

Sitting where books have found a home,
Home where each level is a mirror,
Mirror to an ancient exotic world,
World whose magical depiction,
Depiction of tyrants, kings, nobles,
Nobles who’ve persecuted races,
Races turned into slaves,
Slaves whose musical lyrics,
Lyrics filled with the need for freedom,
Freedom and rebellion against,

….

… ,  but,
But tries to stay steadfast to,
To traditions that hold discipline,
Discipline and ethics striving,
Striving to Revive that books,
Books are a haven,
Haven for the broken soul,
Soul that thirsts for knowledge.

Honored to be a part of this group, Deemflum Falls

Thank you, administrators,  for the honor and your hard work 👏 🙏

Deemflum Falls

In the icy winter frost, the visit
To Niagara Falls is a balm on a troubled
Soul whose daily anxieties transform into mist
That continually rise above the falls, unmoved
By the chaotic madness of a world
Filled with death, murder, violence,
And destruction that require you to hold
Onto your sanity by turning to the deemflum face

Of letting your worries evaporate,
Like the misty fog, into skies so blue,
They pierce into a heart rarely in sync with fate
As the cacophony of splashing sheets of true

Blue raise your spirit into a haven
Of quietude balanced by the icy
Crunch of frozen shelves shedding cotton
Balls through the air like rainy

Pellets that strike a balance
Between the reality and what’s imaginary.

My sincere appreciation for the honor bestowed on my writing.  Thank you administrators.

Hallowed Dialogue

The lion whisperer bends gently
Towards the enormous lion
Caressing his whiskers, quietly,
Softly moving slowly in a run on

Calm strokes as he murmurs
In a singsong voice, base
Undertones that grasp the lion’s roars
Incorporating them into a sotto pause

…

Honoring their Creator, believing
In a melding of minds that’s kind.

As they revere GOD’S gifts
They share a hallowed discussion
Of the importance that lifts
Their souls together into heaven’s transformation.

Accolade for my poem: Watering Hole

Thank you,  administrators,  for the accolade and your hard work.

Watering hole

The old Watering Hole
Where gunslingers role
The dice and drink
Never thinking they’d reached the brink

Of their control
When anger isn’t the goal
But alcohol decreases
Self-control and abuses

Take place in every space,
The bar, card table, lace
Covered curtains that blind
The customer who’ll find

That life is a Watering Hole
Where drama, upheaval,
Comedy and entertainment
All coalesce in one place, content

That life keeps changing
With the times, flying
When it’s all fun and crawling
When help is needed for not bawling.

Thank you,  administrators,  for the accolade and your hard work.

Sacred Light

The bare tree stands alone,
Alone, with its empty branches,
Branches reaching up, up into the sky,
Sky in supplication’s gratitude,
Gratitude that a sliver of light,
Light lights up the road in white,
White snow blanketing the roads,
Roads of life filled with their twists,
Twists, turns, and upheavals,
Upheavals testing your fortitude,
Fortitude in your strength to stand,
Stand alone, facing ice, gales, storms,
Storms that tempt you to give up,
Give up the faithful fight,
Fight in knowing that to survive,
Survive is a sacred right,
Right of passage that’ll bite,
Bite into your faith to self-destruct,
Destruct under social pressure,
Pressure that requires nothing,
Nothing except following your desires,
Desires that lead you astray,
Astray from the path of faith,
Faith lighting your darkest,
Darkest hour with a sparkle,
Sparkle that doesn’t fade.

My poetry is honored again: My Last Five Minutes

My Last Five Minutes

I sit up,
Look up,
Firing my appreciation
To God, in whose contemplation,
Veneration, I’m engrossed
In my thanks to all that
I’ve got, that’s on the spot:
Family to love and cherish,
Kin to pray and think of me as I perish,
Friends who’ll miss my presence,
As our discussions cover matters that hence
Ruminate over social changes
Trending through social media’s
Imposing pressure over all genders
And age groups who’ve surrenders
Their freedom to bondage
Of our sovereignty over our charge:
Our immortal soul, whose barred
From its morality,  replaced
By being led to sins that destroy
Your connection to the all mighty,  a ploy,
To reduce believers that rebel against sins of plurality.

Accolade for my poem,  Fall Sunset

Fall Sunset


The flaming sun burnishes the sky
With reds and oranges
Spilling over tree tops
Like  a flame of life; let go and Fly!

Fly like the falling leaf strewn
Into an adventure to adorn
The grounds with its fragility
Rejuvenation and transiency.

As I walk in the fall streets
Littered with crunchy leaves,
Their stories resound in steps
As their strength comes back in springs

Relating of their journey
Into the soil, hibernating as a key
To Invigorate the ground with nutrients
That’ll help rekindle their growth into beauties.

Accolade for my poem, Dreary Blues

Thank you, administrators,  for the accolade and your hard work.

Dreary Blues

Melancholy’s song echoes in my heart,
It stutters to a rhythm of a dying heart
Drumming slowly in the embrace
Of loss as it envelopes me at a pace
Slower than the most romantic dance,

As the blues trumpets its slow
Flow of a soulful beat, an emotional blow
Of the harmonica’s solo swing
Creates a canvas of loss in a painting
Whose sole focus is melancholy panting

A cycle of notes, whispering their
Stormy lyrics to connect to a layer
Of depth incomparable to any before,
As it serenades your bleeding core
To expunge your melancholy as a bore

Fully comprehending that you
Can’t let the sore of the echoed blue
Make you fall when your strength has
Been proven to be warrior like and as
I knew all along, living for his death in a low bass

That heralds putting it in its sepulcher,
Locking it and throwing away the key, as per
Commands of the living to celebrate in cheer
As loss is but another gain in sheer
Ability to adapt and overcome the drear.

Accolade for my poem,  Festive City

Thank you,  administrators,  for the accolade and your hard work.

Festive City

Painted roofs
On a cold day, running like hoofs,
Their brilliant shine,
It’s just fine
Surrounded by pine
Covered in blinking lights
Green, red, blue, whites
That twinkle at nights
Giving rise to hope
For a future where you don’t mope,
Fall into depression
Caused by holiday celebration
That cost a liver, kidney,
That you can’t live without the key
Of life, for cheer revokes
Loneliness, sadness that provokes
Moodiness, violent cakes
Falling apart As you built a  life that makes
You proud of your veneer
That never touches ethics that peer
Within, making you stronger
For your life is lighter
As most stress is caused
By gossip’s ear, whose vanity paused
To try and emulate what others had.
